What Language did the Harappans Speak? Mystery of Harappan Civilization's Script

#SCALER #CREATEIMPACT

******

Until the 1920s, two of the oldest civilizations known to the world were the civilizations of Egypt and Mesopotamia. But all that changed when officers of the Archaeological Survey of India found evidence of an ancient civilization along the banks of the Indus river. The Indus Valley Civilization was home to one of the ancient world's most developed societies. But we still don't know what language the people of this civilization spoke. It remains one of the most enduring mysteries of our time. But today, researchers are using AI to help us decode the Indus script. In this video, we discuss the reasons why deciphering the script has eluded the best of us, and whether we can are any closer to decoding it than we were a hundred years ago.

I am from Kerala and our mother tongue itself is originated from Tamil . That's how great Tamil is . Mother of all languages, mother of dravidian culture ❤🔥

[TamilRoamer]

I respect all the languages in the world but I am proud my mother tongue is Tamil ❤ and it’s still alive. வாழ்க தமிழ் ❤

[oneman]

I'm not a Tamil speaker. I speak Hindi. But I belong to a tribal group of Kurukh Oroan people. Kurukh language is a Dravidian language.
So I respect all my Tamil friends.

Indus Valley Script is easier to understand than My Doctor's Prescription

Recently in Tamil Nadu Keezhadi archeological excavations revealed many similar scripts that resemble scrips in indus. Instead of searching something like Rosetta stone in indus it can be searched in Southern vaigai (Madurai, Sivagangai, Virudhunagar, Ramanathapuram, Thirunelveli, Tutucorin districts).

Tamil is not just a language. It's part of our soul.

யாதும் ஊரே யாவரும் கேளிர் - which means in English - Every City is ours, everyone is our kith & kin... Which language in the World such a global saying...

கல் தோன்றி மண் தோன்றாக் காலத்தே வாளோடு முன் தோன்றிய மூத்தக் குடி தமிழ் குடி.. Which language in the world has such a proud & dare statement about its ancient nature.

Meaning: After the stone formed, before the Sand formed, the civilization which used the sword is the ancient Tamil Civilization...

Now many would understand why Tamil people oppose the Hindi Imposition...

Thank you for the video mate...

In Tamil Nadu, the inscriptions found in places like Adichanallur and Keezadi and the inscriptions found in places like Indus Valley and Harappa are the same Tamil language.

Indus Valley has always fascinated me since childhood. If the language gets decoded there is so much to learn from our ancestors

[Happy_coast...]

Feel proud people to have been descendants of sanskrit speakers, one of the most scientific languages.
Sanskrit, over 3, 500 years old, is the foundation of Indian science, philosophy, and linguistics, with texts like Aryabhatiya and Charaka Samhita. Its precise grammar and structure is mother of most global languages!
All the major texts are in this beautiful language and listening to it sounds like heaven !😌

[arunachalamsevugan]

I'm Tamil. Whatever the language is that. We need live a cultured life, with all peace and happiness. There should be no crime, good governance, good art, no filthy politicians, god fearing people, limited population, no pollution, preserved nature and environment....and many more.

[VijayKumar-esml]

[PraveenPraveen-crfq]

I recommend you to go through archeological proof which found in Keeladi in Tamilnadu state where the same script was avaible. It may be useful for your further understanding about this issues.

[praveencvcv]

In some parts of Afghanistan people still speak language which is similar to Dravidian language mainly Tamil. There are enough videos on YouTube regarding this.
